The poster also features a number of the historical sites which are visited by millions of tourists who go to France specifically to visit the Valley of the Loire.The Valley is known of course for producing some of the world's finest wines, and many connoisseurs consider it to be the best climate on the planet for white grapes of a wide variety.

Very good. Laid down on linen, possibly original. Size 40.5 x 28.25 Inches. This stunning promotional chromolithograph travel poster of Normandy and Brittany, France, was prepared by A. Maulde et Cie for the Chemins de Fer de l'Ouest (Railroad of the West). Produced in a highly distinctive fin-de-siècle style, it reflects the development of rail infrastructure and the emergence of these areas as tourist destinations in the late 19th century. A Closer Look This striking promotional poster consists of a railway map at right, a series of vignette illustrations, and several tables with information on fares and itineraries. The rail map displays the various lines of the Chemins de fer de l'Ouest network emanating from Paris. Main lines are traced in bold red lines, while secondary lines are sketched in thinner red lines, and the lines of competing railways are traced in black. In addition to rail lines, the Seine and Loire Rivers are illustrated. The dazzling vignette illustrations include: the Gare St. Lazare in Paris, the terminus of many lines originating in Normandy and Brittany (the other being Gare Montparnasse); Bagnoles de l'Orne, a popular spa resort; the spectacular abbey of Mont St. Michel; the historic walled city (and pirate haven) of St. Malo; and the posh seaside resort towns of Trouville and Deauville near the Seine Estuary, sometimes known as the 'queen of the beaches' or the 'Parisian Riviera.' Chemins de fer de l'Ouest Chemins de fer de l'Ouest began as the Compagnie de l'Ouest in 1855 when several small railways were merged, including the Paris - Le Pecq line, opened in 1837 as France's first purely passenger rail line. The company's lines served a few distinct purposes and groups of passengers, from daily commuters in Paris' western suburbs to long-distance travelers, the latter including summer tourists heading to resort towns on the English Channel or the Atlantic Coast. Larger cities like Le Havre, Rennes, and Nantes were connected with Paris by the early 1850s, and more cities acquired stops along the lines in the following decades. Normandy and Brittany became increasingly popular tourist destinations in the late 19th century in large part thanks to the railways, as well as a growing middle class in Paris and other cities, and the championing of the regions in the work of leading writers and artists of the day, such as Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885), Gustave Flaubert (1821 - 1880, who was from Rouen), and Marcel Proust (1871 - 1922, who set much of his masterpiece À la recherche du temps perdu in Normandy's beachside resorts). Despite these solid bases for revenue and their eye-catching advertisements, such as that seen here, the company ran into financial and operational problems around the turn of the century. In an infamous 1895 derailment, a train running late came into Gare Montparnasse at far too high a speed, plowed through the buffer stop at the end of the track, and right on through the station's wall, leading to the locomotive falling one story to the street below. A photograph of the crash taken by the firm Lévy and Sons became one of the most famous in transportation history, but the incident badly harmed the company's reputation. A more enduring problem was that passenger traffic on the line was highly seasonal, thriving in the summer months but moribund the rest of the year, with the company's lines mostly passing through sparsely inhabited farmland on the way to beachside resort towns. Thus, in 1908, the company was nationalized and merged into the Chemins de fer de l'État, which itself became part of the newly-formed SNCF (Société nationale des chemins de fer français) in 1938. Chromolithography Chromolithography, sometimes called oleography, is a color lithographic technique developed in the mid-19th century. The process involved using multiple lithographic stones, one for each color, to yield a rich composite effect. Oftentimes, the process would start with a black basecoat upon which s.

Very good. Laid on linen, poster style. Stabilized abrasion, likely old fold wear, crossing the sheet horizontally just north of Luzon. Size 29.5 x 19.5 Inches. This powerful 1944 Patrick Cokayne Keely World War II propaganda image presents Japan as a menacing octopus with grasping tentacles extending throughout Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and the East Indies. A Closer Look The use of an octopus to represent Japan is ironic, as Japanese artists in the early 20th century were quick to embrace similar imagery, ultimately based on the c. 1870s work of British artist Fred Rose, to criticize Russian imperialism. Here, it has been turned against them. Keely's poster presents the height of Japanese expansionism before its early gains in Asia began to be pushed back by Allied forces. The Dutch government-in-exile, based in London, backed this poster in the hopes that the former Dutch colonies, along with their neighbors in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, would push back against the Japanese occupation. Although, this did happen in Southeast Asia and the Philippines, the former Dutch East Indies suffered brutally under the Japanese, with millions dying of starvation in forced labor camps. Eager to push onward toward the Japanese Home Islands, Allied forces largely bypassed the East Indies, and both occupation and fighting persisted well after the Japanese surrender. Dutch authority was restored after VJ Day, but by this time, a strong nationalist and anti-Dutch sentiment had developed in the islands, and Indonesia was recognized as independent 5 years later in 1949. According to Philip Curtis in War Map: Pictorial Conflict Maps 1900 - 1950 , While the propaganda message of the map is clear, the exact purpose of the poster and whether indeed it was ever actually distributed is more problematic. It may be that when this was commissioned and printed in 1944, it was in anticipation of the imminent Allied liberation of the Dutch East Indies. The intention would have been to distribute it to the re-emerging Dutch colonial authorities and the hopefully grateful peoples of the newly liberated territories. If this was indeed the plan it turned out to be seriously wrong on both counts. Firstly the Americans decided to bypass the Dutch East Indies and push straight on towards Japan itself. . Secondly the Indonesians themselves having now experienced subjugation from both the Dutch and the Japanese ., were determined upon their own independence which they declared within five days of the Japanese surrender. Publication History and Census This image was drawn in 1944 by Patrick Cokayne Keely for the Dutch government-in-exile. It was printed by offset lithograph in London by James Howarth and Brother. It is recorded that 10,000 were printed, but it is unclear if the posters were actually released. Today, the piece is extremely scarce. We are aware of editions both in Dutch, as here, and in English. There are a few examples in institutional collections, but this map is rare to the market.

This monumental and rare movie poster and map of East Asia and the Pacific was issued by Vecchioni and Guadango to promote the 1959 Italian release of the post World War II (WW2) 1958 Japanese film Battaglia del Pacifico . The poster takes the form of an enormous map centered on the Philippines, but covering the East Asian theater of war from Hokkaido to Java and from Cambodia to Guam. Brown arrows and flags illustrate the Japanese battle plan. Produced by the Shin Toho Company and directed by Toshio Shimura, Battaglia del Pacifico was originally titled Admiral Yamamoto and the Allied Fleets . The Japanese perspective film focuses on the early days of the war when Japanese forces moved quickly and aggressively to dominate the western Pacific. The hero is Admiral Yamamoto. This poster / map was issued by Vecchioni and Guadango, an Italian move poster printing house, using a halftone process. It consists of two sheets, currently separate, but capable of being joined, as in the image above, at the buyer's request. This poster is extremely rare with no other surviving examples known.
